This vet office makes the most amazing houses for their resident kitty. Cats love boxes… but this takes it to another level. “The team fell in love with Tisoy quickly and easily,” Liew of Mount Pleasant Veterinary Group said. “We adopted him in a heartbeat.” “In the beginning, Tisoy had soft beds and towels to rest on,” Liew said. “Then he developed this habit of kicking towels into the litter box.” Two of the vet techs, Dorothy Tsang and Gillian Koh, decided to give Tisoy a cardboard box — and he immediately took to it. Tisoy loved his little homes so much, that the office decided to make him as many…

A resident of Adelaide, Australia, recently got a bit of a surprise when he checked his pet duck’s little house where she lays her eggs. “He got a surprise when he reached under the super mum and felt fur!” Fauna Rescue of South Australia (FRSA) wrote on Facebook. The duck seemed quite protective of the little squatter: a tiny brushtail possum who lost her mom. “Little Daisy had been kept warm all night by the duck who had the orphan tucked under her wing.” Maybe the duck could sense that the little possum, who only weighed 12 ounces, needed help. “All by herself in a big scary world, little Daisy the possum sought a…

If you’ve often thought that some people look and act like certain animals, you’re not alone. I don’t mean in the ‘party animal’ context of the idea, but rather in a deeper and more subtle type of way. It often shows through in their mannerisms and behaviors, it’s almost as if they have some inner animal living within them that emerges every now and then and rears its head. Take a close look around and you’ll start noticing how many people share personalities and attributes with an animal. It’s super interesting to observe and once you notice, it’s hard to not see it! via Sun Gazing When you stop to…

This dog loves attention, and he knows exactly where to get it. Every day, the dog wanders from his house in County Cavan, Ireland, to a local school, according to Sean Conway, a local resident, who posted a photo of the dog to Reddit earlier this week. Conway was visiting the school for an event when he spotted the dog doing his thing. “I noticed that the dog was waiting at the wall outside, and some kids were coming over to pet him,” Conway told The Dodo. “He waited patiently and was there for about 10 minutes before he left.” When the dog arrives arrives, he leaps up on the brick wall…

Titon A.R.C is a Non-Profit Organization that is working hard to rehabilitate and train dogs from various backgrounds, offering them a second chance in a family home or working environment.

In collaboration with GUDWULFS RESCUE TRUST, our rescued dogs first arrive at the RESCUE AND REHABILITATION center for the necessary vetting and intake such…
